Oil on Canvas

Oil on canvas

Oil on canvas is considered by art historians and art critics as the highest and purest form of visual expression in two dimensions. A piece of heavy cotton, flax or hemp cloth is stretched tightly on a wooden frame and then different pigments are applied to recreate the scene from the mind of the artist. The use of various colors, tools and techniques helps to create the painting, however the most important ingredient of true art is the inner vision of the artist.
